Each of us wants to thrive in our careers. During challenging economic times, we all have reason for concern as companies tighten their financial belts and we feel our careers are at risk. The user experience (UX) field is no different from any other field in this respect. But there is hope. How can we survive during difficult economic times? Jim highlights strategies that all of us in the UX community can employ to increase the likelihood of thriving, and thus, emerge better prepared for an economic upturn. He’ll talk about ways to make ourselves indispensable, and review examples that show how we can make our UX organizations indispensable. This way, we can protect our jobs, and also ensure that our groups are strategically positioned and valued by our companies.

CHI*Atlanta, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), and the Atlanta Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) invite you to an evening of networking with the Computer-Human Interaction (CHI) - Atlanta Chapter. This will be a great opportunity for our chapters to get acquainted and talk shop in a pleasant atmosphere. We reserved space at Eclipse di luna, which offers a varied tapas menu and a lovely patio should we have some warm weather.
